Asian Handicap eliminates the possibility of a draw in a soccer game. This means that
either the home side or the away side is a winner on your bet. Each team is
given a handicap by the bookmaker, which is supposed to balance them so that an
equal number of betters will bet each side. In the standard 1X2 wagering, the possibilities of each outcome is 33%. In Asian handicap you have two betting options, betting on home or away, so you have a 50% chance of success.

Asian
Handicap vs Fixed Odds(1X2)The advantages of the two different ways
to bet on a soccer match:

Asian
Handicap- Eliminate the possibility of a draw.- You get high prices on favourites.- If a quarter handicap match ends in a
draw, you only lose 50% of your stake.- Good fun when following a match live -
one single goal is likely to change everything.- When playing multiple betting the
number of outcomes are reduced from 27 (3x3x3) to only 8 (2x2x2).

Fixed
Odds- A very high number of bookmakers to
choose from.- Bankers. It is possible to bet on
"secure" games, which might be suitable for an accumulator.- Bigger odds on outsiders.- Much easier to find value bets. You
only need home-draw-away estimations, in Asian Handicap it is required that you
are able to predict exact results.
